saving 50,000 honey bees
This is very fascinating to watch, they saved 95% of this hive
Hive of 50,000 bees extracted from inside a house wall, and saved. [VIDEO]

This happened to me last year. Only we used an exit cone outside the house so the bees can go out but not back in. The combs are still in the wall but I sealed up the hole and no further problems. And I am a regular beekeeper now!

It's always something I've been interested in but never got around to actually doing it. do you get much honey from it?

You can get 30-40 pounds of honey from a hive each season so that's 30-40 jars. It's a hobby that can pay for itself. Maryland is one of the most difficult places because of the goofy weather patterns and short blooming season, but with perseverance it can be done. The easiest places to raise bees are Florida and the southern US with mild winters. Our beekeepers club has members of all ages - it's never too late to start.

I've wanted to get a couple hives but just haven't been able to commit to them yet. One of my customers stated off as a hobby two years ago and now has 200 hives scattered around his land and driving range. I forget what you call them, but he started building his own starter hives and starts from scratch rather than buying the started hives now. He'll be a great resource when I can finally do it right. He wants to start doing some workshops so I'll definitely take advantage of them when he does. Honey bees are such an important part of our industry (home gardening) that I want to do what I can to encourage their proliferation. Their decline is still disconcerting.
